We’re delighted to introduce our new Bristol Junior Chamber 2021-2022 President Daniel St Quintin!

Daniel says: “I’m honoured to have been appointed as President of BJC. I am so excited about the year ahead and the opportunities that will come, both for me and the organisation as we return to some form of normality. I thank Immediate Past President Jack Callow for a brilliant year working alongside him, whilst plans are afoot for the year ahead as I work with my fantastic new Council of Management to provide a variety of interesting and fun networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities for our members.”

Earlier this week at our AGM, as well as welcoming in a new President, we thanked the outgoing 20/21 Council of Management (pictured) for their sterling efforts over the past year in ensuring Bristol Junior Chamber continued to offer varied and fun networking, knowledge-sharing and socialising opportunities during the global pandemic. Well done, team! 👏🏻 🙏🏿

We’re also delighted to have welcomed the new 21/22 Council of Management - watch this space for more info coming soon!

Yesterday evening at our 73rd Annual General Meeting, held virtually for the second year running owing to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, outgoing President Jack Callow handed over to incoming President Daniel St. Quintin who will be leading Bristol Junior Chamber through the year ahead.

Very well done to Jack for his achievements as President during a very challenging year, and congratulations to Daniel! 👏🏾🙌🏻🥳

Things are hopefully looking up but there are still restrictions in place keeping us self, so we’re continuing our ‘Snapshots of lockdown’ campaign where our members tell us about their experiences over the past year. Next up is our Chair of Sport @heather_rees12 📸

“Congratulations, we’ve survived a year of covid restrictions!! Whilst there’s been plenty of sadness, frustrations and worries for many, there’s also been plenty to be thankful for this last year: a new appreciation for the outdoors, connecting more with neighbours and the local community, and @olistavrakakis portion sizing at every ‘Come Cook with Me’ event.

For me personally, lockdowns - especially the last one - have revolved around two main things: food and exercise. I’ve become a spaniel requiring a minimum of two walks a day and a decent meal - a socially distanced pat on the head doesn’t go amiss either! My housemate and I have been making our way round the takeaway offer of Bristol independent restaurants (happy to provide a full Open Table analysis to anyone interested). I’ve also signed up for my first triathlon so for the first time I’ve embraced the full gambit of winter cycling gear to spin out on ‘good’ weather days (read: any day we don’t have to worry about needing a second Noah’s Ark).

A real joy this last lockdown has been the sheer enthusiasm for the BJC LD3 Challenge – our members walking and running 2,021 miles in four weeks (some of it in fancy dress). That last evening when so many of our members grabbed their running shoes after the rallying text concerned that we might not hit our target and trundled out for one last effort reminded me how great BJC is for coming together, taking on a challenge and having a lot of fun in doing so. Here’s to restrictions opening up and a lot of fun at in-person BJC events in the year to come!”

We’re so pleased that so many of our members have enjoyed taking part in our monthly book club this past year, coming together virtually to discuss our latest novel, line up the next one and just have a bit of a natter 📚🙌🏾

At the moment we’re reading crime thriller Fifty Fifty by @sscav and our members having been keeping the book club WhatsApp group buzzing with their plot theories! 🧐

There’s light at the end of the tunnel, but we’re still in lockdown for now so it’s time for another post in our ‘Snapshots of lockdown’ series! This time, Chair of Sport @olistavrakakis tells us about his experience over the past year 📸

“Lockdown has been different for everyone. But these photos give you a snapshot into what it looked like for me. Lots of BBQs were had and I’ve been spending a lot of time by the grill!

Virtual wine tastings seem to have become a thing of almost normality - certainly makes getting to bed a lot easier!

I picked up my skateboard after a 15-year hiatus as it enabled me to exercise either alone or socially distanced with friends who had done the same. A few broken boards later and some sore bodies we’re still going.

I’ve spent a huge amount of time with this furry friend getting out and about on plenty of walks and exploring the Stroud valleys.

Lockdown also saw me host 3 cooking tutorials for the members of the BJC. Something I’ve never done before, but have really enjoyed doing, and hopefully given some people some new recipes to add to their repertoire.”

We are SO excited about our inaugural poetry night, taking place this evening from 6:30pm! 🖋📜 Our members will be coming together to share the short poems they’ve written on the theme of 2020 and, naturally, there’s a competitive element with a (very friendly!) judging panel ready to assess their word smithery.

Huge thanks to our Chair of Heritage and Culture @bacon.henry for organising! There’s still time to sign up so get in touch if you’d like to find out more.

Massive thanks to @wiperandtrue for our fantastic beer tasting session yesterday evening! 🍻

We weren’t surprised to have a great turnout amongst our members for the event; we’re always keen to support local businesses (and we think the beverages went down a treat too!).

Thanks again to Michael and Alice at Wiper and True for informative and delicious tasting session! 🙌🏾
